Fiery Chinese Pepper Steak with Onions

  1. Heat the Pan
    Use a wok or large skillet. Preheat until very hot before adding oil for a quick, even sear.
  2. Cook the Beef
    Place marinated beef in a single layer. Sear briefly, stirring occasionally. Remove when browned but slightly undercooked to prevent toughness.
  3. Stir-Fry Vegetables
    Add onions and peppers. Cook just until fragrant and slightly tender while maintaining a crisp texture.
  4. Combine & Sauce
    Return the beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss quickly. The sauce should thicken, evenly coating all ingredients. Finish with a generous dusting of black pepper.

⚖️ Balancing Flavors & Texture

  • Beef should stay tender, vegetables crisp, and sauce savory with a hint of sweetness.
  • If sauce is too strong, add a splash of water or broth.
  • For more depth, boost with soy sauce or oyster sauce.
